Nifti2Dicom

Convert 3D medical images to DICOM 2D series

Nifti2Dicom is a conversion tool that converts 3D NIfTI files (and other formats supported by ITK, including Analyze, MetaImage Nrrd and VTK) to DICOM. Unlike other conversion tools, it can import a DICOM file that is used to import the patient and study DICOM tags, and allows you to edit the accession number and other DICOM tags, in order to create a valid DICOM that can be imported in a PACS.

Source code is in directory is split into 2 parts:

• src/core (command line tool)
• src/gui (GUI)

To build Nifti2Dicom you need:

• Command line tools:

  • Insight Toolkit (ITK) 3.17 or later using GDCM 2.xx (ITK 4.4.1 or later is recommended, as with previous versions, the produced files might be incorrect, see ITK-281)
  • Templatized command-line argument parser for C++ (TCLAP) 1.2 or later

• GUI

  • Qt4 (4.4 or later)
  • Visualization toolkit (VTK) 5 or 6 with Qt4 support enabled

• Documentation

  • Doxygen
  • Graphwiz
